Story
I am totally terrific Turtle and I find myself here, swimming around, looking for my forever family. I`m a very sweet fella who gives gentle kisses and always enjoys a good belly rub. I am still getting to know this place, so it may take a few minutes for me to warm up to all of my surroundings. I am active, and I enjoy being outside. After a long day, though, I really love to snuggle up in a warm, comfy blanket! I`ll bet YOU like that too! Read below to find out how to meet me: Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

Hello there! I`m Macie! I`m a 5-year old girl who is housebroken and knows some basic tricks, but my friends here at BHS know that I am way smarter than I care to share just yet! The people around here tell me I have the best ears and I love when they tell me! I`ve been spending a lot of time behind the desk with the dog-loving people there. I`m super relaxed and chill. If you`re looking for an easy, sweetheart of a dog who has really good manners, come in and meet me!Interested in adopting me?

Story
Looking for the perfect adventure buddy with some of the cutest radar ears you have ever seen? Our sweet Toby has completed his professional training and is ready to go on all of the adventures with his forever family! Toby is a 4-year-old, 52 lb shepherd mix. He is a super smart guy and loves affection from his people. Toby enjoys meeting new people and has lived with children in the past. Older children living in his forever home are recommended at this time to give him a better chance of success in his new home, but he has been around smaller children and is good with them. Toby gets along with dogs but can be dog selective. He tends to be more dominant in his play with other dogs, so very submissive dogs are not recommended for him to live with. Cats are unknown.  An active family is recommended for Toby to give him the enrichment and exercise he needs to be his best self. Throughout his professional training with Gypsy K9 Solutions he has learned so much, so will be the perfect dog to take hiking and out and about with amazing manners. He came to Gypsy K9 with some guarding behaviors but has learned the release command and has been doing amazing! An owner who is a strong pack leader and will continue the training that he has learned will set him up for the most success in his new home.  Toby is house and crate trained, he can also be trusted outside of the crate when home alone. He is neutered up to date on vaccines and preventatives, as well as a heartworm survivor, now negative! Toby is hanging out with our friends at Gypsy K9 Solutions in Gettysburg, PA! Apply today! Once approved you can meet this awesome guy, and he can show off all his cool new skills he has learned.  New Oxford PA 17350; LIC # 9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

Looking for a big, beautiful love bug?! Look no further than Meadow!  Meadow is a 3 year old German Shepherd/Mastiff mix weighing 94 lb. This girl loves people, including kids! However she wants to be the one and only pet in your life. No other dogs/cats in her house, please! She wants all the attention for herself and will be your best friend. She is described as a bit of a “Velcro dog”, always wanting to be at your side. She also loves a good game of fetch! Meadow does require some special care, but nothing difficult, just an extra expense her adopters should be aware of. She is on a prescription for her leaky bladder and anxiety. She also eats Hills Science Diet Sensitive Stomach ID food. Meadow is already house and crate trained and spent 2 weeks at a board and train for professional training where she even received off leash training. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventatives and ready to meet you! If Meadow sounds like the right girl for you, apply today! Once approved you can meet this sweet girl in Harrisburg, PA.  New Oxford PA 17350; LIC # 9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

Apollo

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Mt. Airy, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
  DESCRIPTION:  Apollo's owner loved him greatly but struggled to keep him safe and in the household. As a result, Apollo spent too much time wandering about the neighborhood and checking in with the neighbors.  Unfortunately, this resulted in too many trips to animal control. Due to his frequent visits, Animal Control decided that Apollo would be safer if he moved forward with a new family.  Apollo is a big, sweet guy. Although it is clear that he has not had a lot of structure prior to his arrival, he is a quick learner and seems to prefer a calm yet confident handler. Apollo has lived with a couple of cats and has done well with them. He seems unaffected by their presence and is calm with them around. Having met a variety of dogs in his travels, Apollo has made it clear that he can live peacefully with another dog. However, he is not a big fan of high-energy dogs who get in his face. We can't blame him for setting his boundaries. Apollo is looking for a forever home that will provide him with the guidance and routine that will help him thrive. He will benefit greatly from training with his new family. This will not only help him bond to his new family but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your household is looking for a big, laid back guy, ask to meet Apollo today! October 28, 2024, 7:35 pm

Bailey

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
 DESCRIPTION:  Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family.  Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times.  As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family.  October 28, 2024, 7:35 pm

Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- WAFFLES IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR DOG. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Waffles was born April 5th, 2021. She is 45-50 pounds,  Spayed, and up to date on shots. Waffles is NOT good with cats or small dogs.
